Atop Snowdon

This short clip was made when the Oxford University Walking Club reached the peak of Snowdon – the highest point in Wales – on March 10th, 2007. As you can see, we did not get a terribly good view for all of our upward marching.

Here is another short video, and some photos on Facebook. I will post some nicer versions here soon. For now, I need to prepare for my meeting with Dr. Hurrell tomorrow.

I feel your pain, bro. When I ascended Snaefellness, the mountain where Jules Verne located the opening in his journey to the center of the earth, it never offered a clear view. However the four hour hike up a less famous peak offered an amazing view. We even had a few near miss emergencies with boulders tumbling down after us on our descent. Nothing like hearing “watch Out!” in a chorus of scandinavian and germanic dialencts. Looks like you had a splendid time!
